CHARLES
CHAUNCEY (11/5/1592-2/19/1672) was the son of George Chauncey and Anne Welsh.
Charles was the second president of HarvardCollege. He has a long list of
published works. He was born in Yardley-Bury, Hertfordshire, England.2 There
are many books written on the life and pedigree of Charles Chauncey.3 Charles
married CATHERINE EYRE by whom he had eight children.

Chauncy,
Charles (1592 - Feb. 19, 1671/2), non-conformist clergyman, second president of
Harvard, was a son of George Chauncy and his wife Agnes Welch, widow of Edward
Humbertson. Notwithstanding the statement in Mather's Magnalia that the date of
Chauncy's birth was 1589, it is probable that he was born shortly before Nov. 5, 1592, when his baptism was registered in Yardley-bury, Herts, England. A pupil in Westminster
School at the time of the Gunpowder Plot, he matriculated at Trinity College,
Cambridge, at Easter, 1610, received the B.A. degree in 1613-14, the M.A. in
1617, and B.D. in 1624. He became a fellow of Trinity in 1614 and was Greek
lecturer in the same college in 1624 and 1626 (Zachary Grey, An Impartial
Examination of Mr. Daniel Neal's History of the Puritans, II, 153). On Mar. 17, 1630, he was married to Catharine, daughter of Robert
Eyre. He was vicar of St. Michael's in Cambridge in 1626; of Ware, Herts, in
1627-33; of Marston St.Lawrence in 1633-37. Because of his
opposition to some of Archbishop Laud's regulations. He was twice summoned
before the high commission court, - in 1630 while he was in Ware (Proceedings
Massachusetts Historical Society, XIII, 337-40; Calendar of State Papers,
Domestic Series, 1629-31), and again, in 1634 while he was in Marston St.
Lawrence (Calendar of State Papers, Domestic Series, 1635-36) On the second
occasion he was imprisoned for some months. In each case he submitted only to
regret his submission later. On June 12, 1637, Dr. S. Clerke wrote to Sir
John Lambe: "Mr. Chauncy... mends like sour ale in summer. He held a fast
on Wednesday last, and ... he with another preached some six or eight hours.
The whole tribe of Gad flocked thither, some three-score from Northampton; the Lord Say, with his
lady, honoured them with their presence" (Calendar of State Papers,
Domestic Series, 1637). Evidently a new storm was brewing and Chauncy fled
before it, reaching New England a few days before the great earthquake, which
occurred on June I, 1638. Before leaving England he wrote a Retraction of
his submission, which was published in London in 164I. In New England he went first to Plymouth as a helper to Mr. Reyner,
the pastor. Trouble soon arose on account of his theory concerning baptism,
which he seems to have believed, should be by immersion even in the case of
infants. On Nov. 2, 1640, Hooker of Hartford wrote
to Shepard of Cambridge: "Mr. Chancy and the church [at Plymouth] are to part.... At a day
of fast... he openly professed he did as verily believe the truth of his
opinions as that there was a God in heaven, and that he was settled in it as
the earth was upon the center ... I profess how it is possible to keep peace
with a man so adventurous and pertinacious, who will vent what he list and
maintain what he vents, its beyond all the skill I have to conceive"
(Lucius R. Paige, History of Cambridge, 1877, pp. 49-50). In 1641, he removed
to Scituate where he found some remnants of Mr. Lothrop's party
who sympathized with him but also others who were inclined to the Church of
England. The result was a schism and the two churches wrangled until conditions
became unbearable (Samuel Deane, History of Scituate, 1831). In 1654, Chauncy
left for Boston, intending to return to his former parish in Ware,
which had invited him back. At the moment, however, HarvardCollege was without a president
owing to the enforced withdrawal of Henry Dunster because of his Baptist
convictions, and the Overseers appointed Mather and Norton a committee to
invite Chauncy to the vacant office. Since his views had become well-known, the
Committee was instructed to signify: to him that the Overseers "expected
and desired that he forbear to disseminate or publish any tenets concerning the
necessity of immersion in baptism and celebration of the Lord's Supper at
evening or to expose the received doctrine therein" (Publications of the
Colonial Society of Massachusetts, vol. XV, p. 206). Accepting these
humiliating conditions, and the meager stipend of œ100, Chauncy became, on Nov. 29, 1634, the second president of HarvardCollege and continued in that
office until his death on Feb. 19, 1671/2. As president, he seems to
have been eminently successful. His naturally impulsive temper was curbed by
the responsibilities of his position and, although he disagreed with Jonathan
Mitchell, pastor of the Cambridge church, upon the Half-way Covenant (see
Chauncy's Anti-Synodalia Americana, Cambridge, 1664), their personal relations
seem to have continued friendly His faults of temper were more than offset by
his acknowledged erudition, to which Ezra Stiles of Yale bore glowing testimony
(The Literary Diary, 1901, I, 133). In addition to works already mentioned, Chauncy
published: The Doctrine of the Sacrament (1642); God's Mercy Shewed to His
People (1655); Sermon on Amos (1665); The Plain Doctrine of the Justification
of a Sinner in the Sight of God (1659). He also wrote, in Latin prose and
verse, various productions for state occasions at Cambridge, England, most of which are in
William Chauncey Fowler, Memorials of the Chaunceys, Including President
Chauncy, His Ancestors and Descendants (1858). 4

SARAH
CHAUNCEY (b 6/31/1631) was the eldest daughter of
Charles Chauncey and Catherine Eyre.5 She was born at Ware, England. Sarah married GERSHOM
BULKELEY on October 26, 1659. See the Bulkeley Family.
